    Avocado Salad
    Rita S.

    It was Cinco de Mayo, and I wanted some Mexican food. I decided to try Ole Ole. I ordered enchiladas, an avocado salad, and chips with pico de gallo. I was so sadly disappointed with my entire order. Although the portion sizes were generous, the chicken in my enchilada didn't taste right and was overcooked, my avocado was starting to brown and was on top of what seemed like sacked lettuce. I could have made a better salad at home. Whomever packed my salad also did a poor job. It leaked all over the take out bag. And...You know how you crave restaurant chips and salsa, etc? Well, my chips were going stale. Also probably bought in bulk. Nothing I ordered tasted fresh. Unfortunately, I will not order from Ole Ole again nor will I visit their restaurant.

    The location is cool and very colorful. They play common Latin America music. The employees are very friendly. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The food. I had three tacos. The portion of meat within each taco is plenty for two tacos , I should have only order two. The Carnitas were very traditional, a little greasy for my taste but over all good. The Pastor as always at most Portland Mexican restaurants is just not that great. The Carne asada was good. I did enjoy the pico that they serve the tacos with. I would come back and try some of the other food choices. The food pricing is not bad $3 a taco. Watch out for the red salsa it's on the spicy side, the green salsa is very good. One drawback is the lack of parking I had to loop around a few times prior to finding a spot.

    Awesome food and good service. Very good selection of Mexican food and beverages Ordered a burrito and a chicken mole plate. Shared both plates with my wife. Thought the burrito was really good and so was the mole, although it could have been spicier. Make sure to bring your cash unless you want to pay a crazy atm fee to get some money. Glad I checked it out instead of going back to sammich.

    Fish tacos

    Wow! The portion sizes are indeed very generous. Got three Alaskan wild cod tacos for 3$ each, jarritos soda and a side of guacamole and chips. The three tacos each come with two tortillas and two ish slices of fish and a hefty portion of pico and lettuce, so if you play your cards right, you could get two tacos out of each one. The green hot sauce is awesome! Service was attentive, kind, and food came out unbelievable quickly. I will say, the guac was fully blended and inauthentic, but goes very nicely on their tacos. The price is a steal- great spot on east burnside :-)

    Came to the Kern district. Found this place. We quickly found out why people were in line. The food is delicious. There is nothing great about the service. But the food is amazing. It makes up for that. Everything was perfect. I recommend this this. Plus the prices are good. If it's nice, sit outside.

I was excited to go here as I had been meaning to visit for at least 6 months. I wasn't disappointed. This taqueria is the real deal, and very authentic. I also appreciate it's LGBTQ owned, and like to be inclusive in how I spend money. The tacos are amazing I had two there, and took two home. They were all delicious and not one disappointed. Their taco menu is very extensive, and it's nice that they have a lot of vegetarian options as well. One of my favorites was the one with mole ,and poblanos, also the chicken one, also the carnitas. Flavors so rich and satisfying. The staff is very friendly, and helpful. Extremely quick service which I love. Even though I only speak a little bit of Spanish. I tried, and they were very welcoming. They are fluent in Spanish. I knew it was an authentic taqueria when I heard a native spanish speaker speak Spanish at the counter. I don't want to leave out their drinks as they have quite a selection both alcoholic, and non alcoholic. I tried the horchata, which was amazing. I have been craving Pozole for a long time, and they had it as a special chicken with green sauce, and pork and a red sauce. Both simply amazing and a great deal. This restaurant is very reasonable, and you get quite a lot for the money. Last but not least I can't forget the ambiance which felt very authentic, and reminded me of being in a Taqueria in Mexico or Southern California. the place is decorated very thoughtful with a lot of candles, and many shrines. They also have a love of Mariah Carey and saw many photos of here in the restaurant. They have both outdoor seating and indoor seating. A lot of plants outside which all seem very happy and well cared for. I love this place, and will be going back for sure. The place is very casual which I appreciate. Keep up the great work your doing Taqueria Los Punales. Viva Taqueria Los Punales. Viva la Raza. Viva Mexico!

By the time we left around 6 PM, the dinner rush had started and a line was forming at the door. The interior is well decorated, modern, and clean. The server was friendly and service was fast. We ordered the bowl, one with carnitas and other with avocado. Both were very tasty! You can tell that the ingredients were fresh, the carnitas were tender and well seasoned. They also had a mango hot sauce brought to the table in a bottle that is amazing. I drenched my bowl with the sauce for the extra kick and flavor. The bowls are very filling. We ended up boxing up half of our food to bring home and finish for a late dinner. Would definitely come again and try their hot sandwiches.

Not one of them has disappointed but if I had to choose a favorite it would be the Ahogada which is perfectly balanced juicy rich and deeply flavorful every single time. Guero also has fantastic drinks and their destilados offering is truly outstanding. Whether you are exploring mezcal tequila or other agave spirits the selection here is thoughtful and exciting. I have had some meals at the bar where the bartenders were genuinely engaged knowledgeable and happy to walk you through their agave list which only enhances the whole experience. I will be honest and say that the service can sometimes lean into the typical Portland vibe of aloof and uninterested but there have also been moments especially at the bar where the staff really shines and makes you feel welcome and taken care of. Even with that quirk the overall experience is fantastic and it does nothing to take away from how much I enjoy eating here. If you are in Portland and love great tortas bold flavors and exciting drinks Guero is absolutely worth a stop. I will continue to come back every time I am in town and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal.
